Chapter 7 · Establishing the Prayer and the Sunnah Regarding Themحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: صَلَّى مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ بِأَصْحَابِهِ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ، فَطَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَانْصَرَفَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا، فَصَلَّى، فَأُخْبِرَ مُعَاذٌ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ مُنَافِقٌ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ مَا قَالَ لَهُ مُعَاذٌ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَكُونَ فَتَّانًا يَا مُعَاذُ، إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ بِالنَّاسِ فَاقْرَأْ ب: الشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا وَ سَبِّحْ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَ اللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَ اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ .

“Mu’adh bin Jabal Al-Ansari رضی اللہ عنہ led his companions in the ‘Isha’ prayer and he made it long. A man among us went away and prayed by himself. Mu’adh رضی اللہ عنہ was told about that and he said: ‘He is a hypocrite.’ When the man heard about that, he went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and told him what Mu’adh رضی اللہ عنہ had said to him. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Do you want to be a cause of Fitnah (trial, tribulation), O Mu’adh? When you lead the people in prayer, recite “By the sun and its brightness, ”[Ash-Shams 91] and “Glorify the Name of your Lord the Most High,” [Al-A’la 87] and “By the night as it envelopes,” [Al-Lail 92] and “Recite in the Name of your Lord.’”[Al-‘Alaq]
